I tried the ketchup test on my T90 Pro and it left a mess in my robot unit

So I spilled some ketchup on the floor and let the robot do it's thing. I used the Vac & Mop mode because there's no dedicated mop mode.

It did clean up the mess (except ketchup streaks from the wheels) but it came at the cost of sucking ketchup inside the unit.

Ketchup was apparent on the wheels, inside the dust bin, inside the hepa pre-filter, the extended brush, and inside the small gaps of the roller holder.

The charging dock was also a disaster, a lot of ketchup got inside.

So my question is, what's the point of the robot cleaning the floor and making my life easier, and then dirtying itself to make my life harder? I needed to take apart every single part of the robot and scrub it really hard because the ketchup had dried (it's been a couple hours till I noticed what it caused to itself and the charging dock.

Is there a setting I can change so it won't suck the dirt and filth to the dust bin and spread it inside the robot? Is there a workaround for the wheels to not get so dirty and leave stains and streaks on the floor when it travels or goes back to the station?

Deebot T80 Omni - Cleaning the roller plastic thing

Does anybody know how to remove or clean this yellow plastic thing next to the roller on the deebot T80 omni, I can't find anything online showing how to clean it.

I tried to force it out but I'm scared to break it, I don't know if there's any spring or screw holding it down.

It's full of dirt and I can't manage to clean it well no matter what.

Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni skipping a lot of places

I got a T90 Pro omni last week, and I’m generally pleased with it. However, when it comes to cleaning, it seems to be missing a lot of spots, like in the picture. You can see it’s skipped the top right corner (I think because there’s a curtain there), and it also skips a lot of edges to avoid bumping into things. My old robot, which didn’t have a camera and only used lidar, did a better job in these situations. Is there any way to fix this?

T90 Omni Pro, constant low cleaning solution

Anyone else getting this message daily even though the fluid is full? No issues with the machine running yet but I'm worried this might not just be a firmware bug

I've only had the vac a few weeks and this basically started immediately. None of the trouble shooting suggestions I've tried online work.

Just figured id check in here before doing a return.

I left my Ecovacs Deebot T50 Max Pro Omni alone for three days...

For three days I let the robot do its cleaning routine, and didn't check anything on it. It ran 3 times a day in different parts of the house, and the only thing I did was empty the dirty water and fill the clean water tank. It ran smoothly and did its thing for that time, with absolutely no maintenance needed. Then woke up this morning to the cleaning tray malfunction. I simply puled the tray out, washed it down, made sure the bobber had free movement, put it back and emptied the dirty water tank, and that was it. It was a solid test to see who far you can push these modern vacuums with no maintenance. Now that I know three days is really the hands off limit, I will make sure every couple days to take the tray out, wash it down and verify everything.

R.I.P Deebot X11 Omnicyclone

I've had this vacuum since November 2025 and was really pleased with it, even though it had minor inconveniences (side brush falling off or breaking, getting lost, etc.).

Every week, the sensors, the brushes, the base station and everything that came with it, were getting cleaned.

Today, while doing its task, it decided not to avoid a fresh cat poop on the floor.

Can anyone guess what happened? It continued vacuuming and mopping. When I noticed it, it was too late. The cat waste got everywhere inside the robot... Wheels, main brush, motor, you name it.

Was the robot up to date? Yes, yes it was.
Do I have warranty? Yes, I do
Do you think it'll cover it? Well... No!

That's it, that's all. That was the lifespan of this vacuum robot...

So excited to get my Ecovacs t90 pro! What maintenance should I not ignore?

Just got my first robot vacuum. I’m in the honeymoon phase with it lol.

Setup was easy, out of box. The suction is strong enough to scoops up all of our dog hair, but it’s almost silent. And the mopping is nice for light marks near the kitchen and entryway.

The obstacle avoidance is better than I thought. I’ve left a few random things on the floor and it goes around them instead of getting stuck.

btw, I want to keep it working well for as long as possible, so what maintenance should I actually keep up with?

Setting up a schedule for T90 pro omni

I recently received the T90 pro omni and already love it, but I can’t find where I can schedule it’s cleaning routine.

I have ‘scenario clean’ and added some scenarios but I can’t assign a time to it. Is this not possible?

When searching online it says to go to the robot settings and then the schedule but that option isn’t anywhere in my list.

Can anyone help me so I can set up a schedule?

Hard time cleaning

Having a hard time here... Gets done with 1 then 2 and then wants to "return". There is no dock on this floor it's my 2nd floor never was one. How do I get it to keep going? I emptied the dust bit manually to see if it would continue

Recommendation

Which one would be a better buy between N30+ and deebot mini omni.

I live alone (carpet size 700 sq ft). I want minimum maintenance. I don’t think I need very high duty cleaning, as once in a month I will call someone from urban clap too. Also robo should be able to avoid random things lying on floor like usb cable some random particle etc. I might use it once a day / once in 2-3 days depending on the need. Basically it just needs to clean dust and hairs 🥲. Also, it should be reliable, don’t want to take it to a shop / service centre too often. Budget between (25-35 k inr). Feel free to suggest other models too.

Mapping issues

Has anyone found out a solution to the failing to map interior walls issues? I have a t90 pro omni but it seems to be happening on other models as well.

T90 starting with full charge then says needs to charge at 86%

Does anyone know why the T90 will start a cleaning with a full charge, then says it needs to flash charge with 86% left? It makes no sense why it needs to keep going back just to maintain a high charge level constantly

Ecovacs, Home Assistant, Local, Matter, anytime

I've recently got the Deebot N20 Plus, and it is performing great, given the price of £250 I cannot complain, I love the bagless empty like a traditional vacuum I'm used to.

I was hoping to connect my bot to my Home Assistant by using Bumper to have local control. However for the life of me I cannot get Bumper to work.

Firstly, if anyone has succeeded in connecting the N20 Pro to Bumper for local control, and able to offer help?

Secondly, what is Ecovacs stance on any kind of Matter integration in the future?

Whilst I love the N20 Pro as my first robot I can easily see myself moving away from Ecovacs, in the future, now I know a robot is for me, if I'm not able to have local control.

How do you receive OTPs overseas when you dont have roaming?

I go overseas frequently for work. Unfortunately my current SIM does not have roaming, so any OTPs I might receive by SMS from using credit card online might not be sent to me.

Any sim companies you know what provides roaming (not just data roaming) so that I can receive my OTPs by SMS?

Right now, Ahamo seems promising.

Deebot X12 OmniCyclond does not fill the water tank, nor uses water to wipe the floor when asked to

EDIT-SOLUTION: apparently, the screws on the base station's tank were loose. My dad and I noticed that while priming water in the tank's inlet, it would come out from above. Thus we pictured there may not be perfect vacuum because air would penetrate through the loose screws... Well, now the robot is wiping the floor, which is now wet. That's unbelievable 

Hello, so the problem is the one in the title. The robot goes through the whole setup process when asked to wipe the floor with water, but when actually performing the task, the floor is absolutely dry. The water tank at the base station is still full, even though we tried many times to instruct the bot to wipe the floor. Since this model should have a sensor both for the clean and dirty water tanks, how is it possible it has no conception that his tank is empty and needs to recharge it? In settings, I also tried to have him refill the water tank whenever it senses it's empty, but the bot just went on with its business and didn't mind filling in the tank. What can we do to fix this issue? Thanks.

How can I fix this Map? Or should I not worry about it?

I grabbed a Deebot T90 Pro Omni during Prime Days. Just got it over the weekend. The cleaning has been pretty solid, but mapping is kinda cheeks. It's made some interesting interpretations. I added what it should look like on the right. But basically it says there's no wall separating my bathroom from the master bedroom and hallway. I tried all sorts of different things to add them, but they haven't worked. Then, the little weird wall thing in the master bedroom, I think it interpreted one side of our bed as a wall. I can't figure out how to remove that either.

Deebot t90 pro omni - what is this madness?

Why is my deebot t90 pro vacumming and mopping in random circles rather than straight lines? There are no obstacles in that area. The lower part of the image is under by bed frame. I have a terrazo floor and i only bought this after it was recommeded because of the terrazo flooring. I have attached the cleaning settings too.

Hello,

Replacing my suddenly dead j7+. Costco is having a sale on, and Ecovacs are an option. Of them, I'm down to two:

T50 Omnicare for $450

X8 Pro for $650

Is the x8 Pro worth the extra $200?
